OPP COLOUR TAPE
OPP colour tape (Oriented Polypropylene colour tape) is a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape made from a biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film backing pigmented or coated in a range of solid colours, combined with an acrylic or rubber-based adhesive. It is essentially the coloured variant of standard clear OPP packaging tape, offering the same excellent sealing and packaging performance while adding colour coding, visual identification, branding, and differentiation capabilities to carton sealing, bundling, and packaging operations.
Standard widths : 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 50, 72 mm
Standard roll lengths : 50m, 66m, 100m
Standard widths : 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 50, 72 mm
Standard roll lengths : 50m, 66m, 100m
Key Characteristics
- Backing material: Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) film — pigmented or surface-printed
- Adhesive type: Acrylic (water-based) or hot-melt rubber pressure-sensitive adhesive
- Surface finish: Gloss or matte
- Colors: Full range — Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Brown, Black, White, Pink, Purple
- Transparency: Opaque solid colour (standard); translucent tinted grades available
- Thickness: Typically 45 – 65 microns total (film + adhesive)
- Tearability: Requires dispenser, scissors, or blade — not hand-tearable
Full Colour Range & Common Uses
| Colour | Common Use |
|---|---|
| Red | Urgent shipments, priority orders, hazard identification, rejection marking |
| Blue | Work-in-progress, departmental colour coding, export cartons |
| Green | Approved goods, finished products, quality passed items |
| Yellow | Caution, fragile contents, special handling required |
| Orange | Inspection items, returnable goods, raw materials |
| Brown | General sealing, neutral colour for standard cartons |
| Black | Premium packaging, high-end products, opaque concealment |
| White | Clean clinical appearance, medical and pharmaceutical packaging |
| Pink | Promotional packaging, seasonal and festive use |
| Purple | Quarantine goods, cold chain identification, specialty products |
Key Performance Properties
- Instant visual identification — colour-coded cartons are identified immediately without reading labels
- Strong adhesion — bonds firmly to corrugated cardboard, kraft paper, and most packaging surfaces
- Moisture resistant — BOPP film withstands humidity throughout storage and transit
- Fade resistant — pigmented film retains colour vibrancy under warehouse lighting conditions
- Clean unwind — consistent release from roll without flagging or adhesive transfer
- High tensile strength — resists splitting and tearing during application and in transit
- Cost-effective colour coding — eliminates need for separate coloured labels on cartons
- Uniform appearance — consistent colour and gloss along full roll length
- Compatible with dispensers — works with standard hand-held and bench-top tape dispensers
- Printable — colour base film accepts flexographic overprinting for custom messaging
